NBC greenlights a modern Bionic Woman pilot
Remember the old TV show the Bionic Woman? Well, it is definitely true that what’s old will come back in style again, because NBC has greenlit a new pilot based on the old Bionic Woman series, modernized. The pilot is the brainchild of Battlestar Galactica writer-producer David Eick.
Incase you have forgotten, or its before your time, the Bionic Woman was a mechanically enhanced woman, with the series done as a spin-off from the Million Dollar Man. Lindsay Wagner played Jaime, the Bionic Woman. The original series premiered on ABC, but NBC picked it up after NBC cancelled it (although ABC continued the Million Dollar Man). See, there was network hopping long before Buffy and the O.C.! And coincidentally, USA Networks had planned a pilot based on the show as far back as 2002, but it never materialized.
NBC has only picked up the pilot as “cast-contingent” meaning they have approval of the casting. No word on when this process will take place, but I would guess this is being planned as a potential fall 2007 series.
